iWmagazine.com - Hurrah for Schirra
"Vintage chronograph collector Chuck Maddox spoke with Astronaut Walter “Wally” Schirra for International Watch on February 17th in Los Angeles. The meeting, made with assistance from Omega’s U.S. office in Weehawken, N.J., occurred just a few months before Schirra died of natural causes at the age of 84 on May 2. It was likely among his last face-to-face interviews.
Schirra was one of the original Mercury mission astronauts and is the only astronaut to have flown Mercury, Gemini and Apollo missions. He was selected as commander of Apollo VII to put NASA’s lunar program back on track after the Apollo I disaster. Schirra logged a total of 295 hours and 15 minutes in space. He teamed with CBS anchorman Walter Cronkite as a commentator for that network’s space program coverage from 1969 to 1975."
